When he came, the stars fell

Chapter 120 Thank You For Calling My Name
"Really? Is everything in the post true?"

When asking this sentence, Su Bai's tone was a little anxious.

Cheng Yan just now seemed to have no thoughts about the future at all, and the tone of his question exuded a sense of despair.

Seeing the astonished expression on his face, Su Bai gave a soft "tsk", and gradually recovered his usual calm.

"I don't know if you have read the post bar. I saw a few posts. Anyway, I saw two posts. Although the theme of these two posts is the same, there are some details that are different, and the same post There are also inconsistencies in the sentence, I will talk about you later...do I need to explain it to you?"

"Ah."

Su Bai pursed his lower lip, "Then what I'm going to say next is simply discussing the content of the post, it doesn't mean I think you did these things."

Cheng Yan didn't speak, but stared at her closely.

"The first post said that you were seen by your classmates dating boys outside of school, so everyone thought you were abnormal, so they excluded you. Because you dated too many people, everyone couldn't stand it anymore. Their attitude towards you It got worse and worse, and eventually you transferred to another school. The second post said that you dated girls even though you liked boys. Everyone thought you cheated on other people's feelings, so they excluded you. At the same time, they found that you were There are a few boyfriends outside the school, who look down on you even more. Of course, both posts mentioned that when your classmates correct you, you don’t listen to repentance and hit people backhanded and so on.”

In the post, words like "promiscuity", "disgusting" and "badness" are scattered all over the post, Su Bai avoids them one by one.

"The biggest difference between the two posts is the reason why you were excluded. In the first post, you were excluded because you like boys. In the second post, you were initially excluded because you cheated on girls. There is still a big difference between the two. If the reason in the second post is to exclude you, then there will be no such inconsistencies in the self-righteousness of helping you to 'correct' the behavior that is actually school violence."

Since Cheng Yan was ostracized because he cheated on girls, and there was no campus violence at that time, it means that at least most of the classmates didn't think it was a mistake for Cheng Yan to like boys.

Later, it was discovered that he dated several boys at the same time. The reason for excluding him should also be his immoral behavior of stepping on multiple boats. Even if it triggered school violence, the word "correction" should not be added.

"Cheng Yan, have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"No."

Nodding his head, Su Bai didn't have the slightest doubt about his words, "Then the contents of these two posts are basically unbelievable."

I thought that Su Bai came here simply to inquire about his affairs, and turned back as a conversation piece.

It never occurred to Cheng Yan that she came here to make a fake show for himself.

"How can you be sure that what I just answered is true?"

"That, I just asked casually, and it will not affect my judgment."

Seeing that the candy in his mouth seemed to be finished, Su Bai took out another one and handed it over. Watching him take it and peel it off, his tense nerves relaxed a little again.

"Normal people want to tell others a story. If they are not believed the first time, they should add more authentic and credible details in the second time. If they add false details and are inconsistent, it means that what he told That story, in itself, is questionable."

In the classroom, Qi Yu was leaning against the wall with a book in his hand, and his eyes fell on the two people by the balcony inadvertently.

Zhang Chao bumped his arm, "Qi Yu, to be honest, are you worried about Cheng Yan now?"

"I'm worried about him, what are you farting?" Qi Yu frowned, as if he had heard a big joke.

"Heh, you have a tough mouth! I don't know who it is, but you're still typing on the keyboard in the post bar at two o'clock in the middle of the night." Zhang Chao made a fluttering movement of typing on the desktop, and squinted at Qi Yu, " There are hundreds of back and forth battles with people in the comment area, the scene is called a bullshit!"

"Tsk, let me ask if you can be more consistent in your speech. There is an idiom in the front and an idiom in the back. Don't show off your poor words at the beginning." Qi Yu complained.

Zhang Chao was not embarrassed either, he knocked on the table, "Don't change the subject, that one from yesterday was your trumpet, right?"

"No, I only have one Post Bar account."

"Believe in you!"

Opening the notebook, Zhang Chao wrote Qi Yu's name on it.

"Your nickname is 'Shikouqi', and yesterday's nickname was 'Eryuyu'. I almost looked it up yesterday, but then I realized it was your silly way of naming names. Said it wasn't you?"

"Not really."

Zhang Chao stared at him, "Your trumpet is still paying attention to your trumpet."

Qi Yu: "..."

When he was speechless, the book in his hand was turned to the ground. Qi Yu bent over to pick it up, and kept looking at Zhang Chao as he stood up.

"It's me, okay?" Qi Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, and muttered, "I actually forgot to cancel it."

"So, why do you pretend to hate Cheng Yan?" Zhang Chao asked puzzled.

"I'm not pretending, I really hate him."

"Hate him, and you still speak for him?"

Turning his head to look at Cheng Yan's back, Qi Yu recalled how amazing he was when he first met him in the High School Affiliated to N University, and how miserable he was when he was bullied the second time.

He used to help Cheng Yan, but a while ago, he did something similar to the group of people who bullied Cheng Yan.

"How should I put it, I just suddenly realized that I actually have no reason to hate him, and he is really miserable." Looking away, Qi Yu patted his chest, "Anyway, I am also a reasonable cultural person, and I will help you talk To be fair, it's still possible."

"Only you are reasonable." Zhang Chao gave him a blank look, and then sighed.

"what happened?"

"No, I'm just worried. I don't know what the facts are, and I don't know what will happen to Cheng Yan." Zhang Chao said.

"Speaking of Chaochao, when you saw the post, didn't you feel even a little disgusted?" Qi Yu asked.

After watching the movie yesterday, he saw the post in the post bar, and he only chatted with Su Bai and the others in the group for a while when he got home.

At first, although he felt that the original intention of the person posting the post was to make Cheng Yan feel bad, he still had some faith in the contents, after all, he had witnessed the scene where Cheng Yan was bullied.

It was only after Su Bai's analysis that he realized that Cheng Yan must have been scammed, and the content of the post should not be trusted too much.

As for the fact that he likes boys, it's because he has two friends, Su Bai and Geng Mianmian, who are popularized by science from time to time, so he doesn't think it's absurd when he sees it.

But Zhang Chao, it seemed that from the very beginning, he was just simply worried, and he didn't have any extra emotions because Cheng Yan liked boys. In his impression, he probably didn't have much contact with such things.

"If the post said that Cheng Yan bullied others, and finally transferred to another school for various reasons, it would be really annoying, but now he is being excluded and isolated. Why should I hate a victim?"

"But the post also said that he likes boys." Qi Yu whispered.

After Su Bai's analysis yesterday, the content of the post is basically unreliable, but as long as the fact of liking boys exists, as long as it is mentioned, even if it is not confirmed, it will cause criticism and alienation from others.

"Like it if you like it, isn't this his freedom?" Zhang Chao said naturally, "As long as he doesn't like me, it's fine, because so far, I think I like girls. If he likes me, he can only be gone."

Qi Yu: "..."

It seems to be such a reason.

So what if Cheng Yan likes boys, it's not that he likes them, it doesn't affect him at all, there's nothing to hate.

He raised his hand and patted Zhang Chao's shoulder heavily, "It's transparent, brother."

"That is required."

Outside the classroom, after hearing Su Bai's well-founded analysis, Cheng Yan felt grateful to her, but...

"What I said earlier was not a joke, I really like boys."

Cheng Yan stared at Su Bai without blinking, trying to see the change in her expression.

However, Su Bai's reaction was unexpectedly flat.

"There have always been people like you, it's just that there are fewer people. Of course, many people don't understand, so they will look at you with strange eyes, but this does not mean that liking the same sex is a wrong thing, they just try to It may not be logical to use mainstream aesthetics to regulate you.”

Look up and meet Cheng Yan's gaze, "Don't think you are wrong just because they are large and powerful."

The boy didn't speak, but stared straight at Su Bai, so long that she felt a little guilty.

Hmm, is it because it's not convincing enough?

Do you want to give some more examples?
For a moment, I couldn't think of what to say.

"Well, there are not many geniuses and lunatics in the world. In the eyes of us, they are actually a bit like aliens. We will also look at them with strange eyes. Surprise and admiration for geniuses, yes The fear and alienation of crazy people, but in fact, they are all ordinary people, just different from us in some ways."

Something always feels wrong.

Su Bai's voice gradually weakened, and she felt that Cheng Yan's gaze had become concrete, and she was about to stare at herself out of the hole.

"What I mean is that the existence of a small number of people is also reasonable. In the eyes of these small number of people, maybe we are the unreasonable alien...Anyway, you are right."

My mind was in turmoil.

At this moment, Su Bai suddenly realized that sleep is really a very important thing.

Lack of sleep can easily lead to brain shutdown.

If she had known, she would have made a draft in advance, and was ready to comfort Cheng Yan.

I don't know if she expressed her meaning well.

After a long time, Cheng Yan finally said "um", "In my eyes, you are also a reasonable existence."

This is, does it make sense?

"Cheng Yan, although you may see that most people don't understand you, I also hope you know that there are also a group of people who can understand you and support you, not only me, but also Zhang Chao. , Mianmian, and Jiang Mo, many of them."

Su Bai's eyes fell on the balcony for a while, and then she looked at Cheng Yan with expectation in her tone: "Cheng Yan, I know that I say this a little too lightly, after all, there is no way to really empathize with you I understand that you are under pressure, but no matter what, I hope you can persevere until you have the ability to ignore the prejudices around you, and at that time, be yourself more heartily."

"Keep going," Cheng Yan repeated these four words in a low voice, "Su Bai, did you see something?"

This time it was Su Bai's turn to be silent.

She hoped that she had misread and guessed wrong.

Cheng Yan exhaled lightly, and took a step back, away from the balcony.

Su Bai's eyes lit up.

"You are quite similar to a friend of mine before. She also persuaded me that way, but she felt that it was too difficult for the whole school to change their views on me, so I came to No. [-] Middle School."

The first time I saw Su Bai in Lao He's office, the reason why Cheng Yan softened his attitude towards her was not only because he knew that she was Qi Yu's friend, but also because of the familiar gentle temperament in her.

"The final exam is coming soon, hurry up and go back to review, everyone is still waiting for you to be the first in the grade." Cheng Yan said to Su Bai with a smile.

After coming to No. [-] Middle School, Su Bai basically never saw Cheng Yan smile. Now she stared at the smile for a long time, making sure that Cheng Yan was not pretending to laugh at her, so she felt relieved.

"Student Cheng Yan, don't let the water go."

"Don't worry, I respect people."

"Well, let's go back then."

He took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it over, "I see that you really like it, so I'll give it to you."

"Thank you."

Cheng Yan took the candy and held it all in his hand.

"You're welcome." Su Bai waved his hand.

"Thank you, too, for calling my name so many times."

Every call made him feel that someone understood him and cared about him.

Rao was almost comforted, the moment he walked into the classroom and saw Qi Yu, Cheng Yan's body was still a little stiff.

He chose the third middle school because of Qi Yu, but the other party hated him very much.

Now that he knows that he likes boys, he should hate them even more, otherwise, when he passed by before, he wouldn't move the stool forward so deliberately.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go around the podium and return to his seat, Zhang Chao spoke.

"Come back, Cheng Yan, what are you holding in your hand?"

He had no choice but to go over and lean against the wall as much as possible when passing Qi Yu's seat.

Standing behind Zhang Chao, Cheng Yan spread out his palms, "It's the candy from Su Bai."

"It's quite a lot, give me one." Zhang Chao said.

"it is good."

Picking one out of them, Zhang Chao held it up and said with a smile, "Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Shaking his head, Cheng Yan said, "No..." It's gone.

"Give me one too, and I'll add something to you tonight."

Qi Yu's voice sounded in his ears, and Cheng Yan's words were stuck in his throat. Before he could react, he felt his palm being touched, and another candy was missing.

Looking down at Qi Yu who was sitting there, Cheng Yan frowned in disbelief.

After Qi Yu received his gaze, he took a look and then lowered his head to tear the candy paper, "What's the matter, you can only let Zhang Chao take it, can't you let me take it? I told you I'll add more food for you, otherwise I'll treat you to eat alone tomorrow It's okay after dinner."
